Narcissus and Goldmund

NARZISS AND GOLDMUND, written by Hermann Hesse in 1930, is about life, death, art on the axis of the extraordinary friendship of two opposite characters living in the Middle Ages. traces reason, love, passion and sexuality.

On the one hand, the wise Narcissus, on the other hand, the artist Goldmund; Even though they both strive to reach perfection on the path of "self-realization", they can only approach perfection from opposite directions.

According to Hesse; The idea of a universal human can be approached when the opposites take as their compass the ability to complement each other, not the rupture.

In this book, I wanted to express once again the Germany and the spirit of Germanness that I have carried within me since childhood, and to confess my love for them - today, “ Because I hate everything "German".

I read his books with great surprise and always with curiosity. This Hermann Hesse is not just an American romantic idea, on the contrary, he is definitely an intelligent, verifiable, great writer.

I feel at home with him. His stance against militarism, nationalism and all inhumane, murderous delusions and the idea of choosing his own path; It became my favorite at a very early age.
